Vaginal pain

I am 31 weeks pregnant and for the past 3-4 days i have been getting a sharp pain in my vaginal every now and then. Has anyone else experienced this?

No i havent asked my mw - i have my appointment next week, so will ask her then unless it gets worse before then. It feels 'tender' down there as well.

I got the tenderness with my second pregnancy and it almost felt like a bruised sort of feeling!
My MW told me that it was due to the extra blood flow around your vagina. Also, some women get varicose veins which can be quite tender. I happened to have a look down there when I was doing some 'maintenance' in preparation for labour and oh my goodness, it suddenly made sense! Everything gets all big and blue! Ignorance truly is bliss
(Thankfully it all returned to normal colour and shape-wise
after the swelling went down once he was born!)
Ooh and that stabbing cervix pain is no fun either! Late pregnancy is all about the glamour eh?

I get stabbing pains which are related to the baby dancing (head down) on my cervix. Make me not look forward to labour. Am pretty confident they're cervix, not vaginal, as MW could bring them on when she was trying to open my cervix.

Chat to your MW, but it sounds like the joys of the third trimester!

at looking down there?! I will keep in my ignorant world, me thinks!
